In the morning, Liao Zhengkai, the second steward of the caravan, led a few people and pulled two carts loaded with beef and vegetables from the other end of the street.
He happened to meet Dugu Jun and asked: "Steward Dugu, where are you going?
ah" Dugujun smiled and said: "I'm going to see Manager Liu to discuss something.
Where can I buy beef?
It's a whole cow."
Liao Zhengkai smiled and said: "It's a villager from a village in the south who is about to be brought to the town to sell beef.
I see that the brothers have been chewing dry food these days and it's not good.
Besides, aren't those Eastern Roman officials still here to investigate?
Well, we can't let them eat dry food with us, so I bought the whole cow and gave it to everyone as a tooth-beating sacrifice."
"With Manager Liao here, we have a comfortable life.
Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard, it's not hard, you're busy, you're busy" When Liao Zhengkai and several villagers pulled the cart containing beef and vegetables to the door of the house where the caravan was cooking, Liao Zhengkai said to several villagers: "Okay, this is it.
You guys move everything in.
After the move is finished, come with me to get the money.”
"Yes, sir," the leading villager agreed, with an imperceptible gleam in his eyes as he called on several fellow villagers to move everything into the house.
Before noon, the soldiers of the Dragon Guard who were making arrows in each house could already smell the fragrant aroma of beef bone soup.
The food for more than two hundred people was still a big-bellied man.
This food was not good.
Do it.
Ten large pots are turned on at the same time.
The steamed buns have been steamed and the vegetables have been fried.
Beef and beef bones are cooking in the pot.
There is a thick layer of butter floating on the soup.
It is being heated by the fire.
Roll and roll.
The cooks had just finished cleaning up, and when they looked up, they saw the Dragon Guard soldiers coming over with bowls and chopsticks in hand, swallowing their saliva as they looked at the beef and bone soup in the pot.
When the cook Wang Mazi saw this, he laughed and scolded: "You bastards, your noses are sharper than dogs' noses.
Hey, hey, don't worry, don't be anxious, you haven't seasoned it yet.
You have all been lined up for me.
Don't worry, everyone has it.
Don't worry."
Enough to manage” One soldier joked: "Mazi, look at your round belly, you must have eaten a lot just now."
"Fuck you, I need to eat it secretly."
Wang Mazi laughed and scolded, adding seasonings to each pot.
After the seasonings were put in, the aroma became more intense, and the fishy smell of beef was removed.
Bring out the beef fully.
"Come on, come on, line up, come one by one," the cooks greeted with spoons, and gave everyone who came over a bowl of meat and a bowl of soup.
In addition, everyone went to the side to receive four large white steamed buns.
Du Ergou got the food and walked out and saw that there was still an empty seat under the eaves.
He walked over and squatted down to look at the bowl full of meat and said, "Hey, it would be great if there was a bowl of beef for every ton.
I eat dry food every day.
My mouth is bubbling.”
A teammate from the same team next to him laughed and scolded: "You think it's nice to have a bowl of beef for every meal.
The guy above doesn't have meat for every meal.
You're not just eating dry food like us every day, you're content."

Bar" Everyone squatted under the eaves and chatted, chatting while eating, and the meal came one after another.
It was not until Liu Dan, Dugujun and other stewards had finished eating that the meal was almost complete.
After Liu Dan finished eating, he ordered a bodyguard next to him: "Go and tell the bodyguard Zhao to bring those officials from the Eastern Roman Empire to dinner, and continue the interrogation after eating."
"Yes."
The escort agreed and walked out.
He stopped when he reached the door, his eyes suddenly widened.
"My lord, my lord, come and see, something happened, something happened," the escort shouted.
Liu Shan was shocked.
He immediately walked out of the house with bowls and chopsticks, but saw everyone under the eaves on both sides of the door lying on the ground motionless.
His face changed drastically, and he immediately walked over to an escort and put his fingers in his nostrils.
Down.
"They are still breathing, they were just stunned."
Liu Dan stood up with a solemn expression, and suddenly thought of something, "Follow me quickly."
The two men immediately ran to the main street of the town.
When they reached the intersection, they saw a soldier lying on the ground motionless every few steps on the street.
They stretched out their hands to check their breathing and found that most of them were unconscious.
Liu Dan's face turned pale on the spot, and when he stood up, he felt his head start to feel dizzy, "No, someone has drugged the food.
Go and report to Your Majesty, go quickly."
After that, he fell to the ground.
"My lord, my lord."
The soldier was shocked.
He shook Liu Dan but did not respond.
He immediately ran away to where the prisoners were being held.
In a large courtyard, Torun sat behind a table.
A tied bandit prisoner in front of him was being interrogated.
Zhao Ziliang stood holding a waist knife and leaned against a big tree in the yard.
Zhang Huchen and Bart were standing there.
The man stood not far away with his sword in his arms and watched Lord Torun interrogating the prisoners.
There were also several bodyguards standing beside him.
"Your Majesty," the soldier who reported the news rushed in in a panic.
He immediately reacted and changed his words: "Boss Zhao, something bad happened.
Everyone fainted after eating.
Manager Liu asked me to report before he fainted."
Before he finished speaking, he fell to the ground motionless.
Zhao Ziliang was startled, and immediately came to the soldier who reported the news, squatted down and checked, and found that he was unconscious.
"It seems that he was drugged, and now the drug is taking effect," Zhao Ziliang said, raising his head to Zhang Huchen and raising his chin.
With a solemn expression, Zhang Huchen held up his sword and fisted at Zhao Ziliang, turned around and ran out.
Tolun, who was interrogating the prisoners, also felt something was wrong at this time.
He stopped and looked at Zhao Ziliang and asked: "Master Zhao, what happened?"
Zhao Ziliang shook his head to the two bodyguards next to him: "Put the prisoners in first."
"yes" After watching the prisoners being put back into the house, Zhao Ziliang clasped his fists at Tolun and said, "Master Tolun, we are in big trouble.
This unconscious companion said that someone poisoned our food.
Except for our people here, everyone else Everyone has been stunned."
"What escort Zhao, how could this happen?"
Torun was shocked, "Where is the enemy?"

"It's not clear yet who did it," Zhao Ziliang said, then turned to Bart and ordered: "Go to the street and take a look.
If the enemy appears, kill him."
"Yes" Bart clasped his fists, turned around and left holding the knife in his hand.
Zhao Ziliang said to Tolun: "Master Tolun, you'd better stay with me now, otherwise I can't guarantee your safety.
Others, you stay here to guard the prisoners.
No matter what happens outside, it has nothing to do with you.
If there is If the enemy breaks in, kill them immediately."
"Yes" the twelve Dragon Guard soldiers guarding the prisoners agreed in unison.
Zhao Ziliang took Tuolun and several of his men down to the street.
They saw people from the caravan lying all over the street, including bodyguards, coachmen, and stewards dressed as Dragon Guard soldiers.
These people fell to the ground, and some had their hands There are still bowls and chopsticks in it.
At this time, a fast horse came galloping towards him.
Zhao Ziliang took a closer look and saw that it was Zhang Bi, the commander of the Tiger Tooth Army.
Zhang Bi rode into the town and saw his own people lying everywhere on the street.
He immediately stopped his horse and his expression changed.
Turning bloodless, he raised his eyes and looked into the distance.
When he saw Zhao Ziliang standing on the corner of the street, his eyes suddenly lit up and he ran over immediately.
"Master Zhao, how could this happen?"
Zhang Ben ran over panting and asked, holding his fists.
Zhao Ziliang said: "Someone put medicine in our food.
Except for the dozen or so people guarding the prisoners, everyone else fainted after eating."
"Ah, so-and-so did it?"
Zhang Bi asked angrily with veins popping out on his hand holding the handle of the knife.
Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "I don't know.
We just came from the place where the prisoners were held.
What happened to you in such a hurry?"
Zhang Bi said: "Something happened.
Brothers, we found a troop coming from the northwest, about six hundred people."
"What?"
Zhao Ziliang was surprised.
The sound of horse hooves came from the entrance of the town again.
Several people turned around and saw the mercenary Gu Tong running over on horseback.
He was also dumbfounded when he saw the scene on the street.
After the horse stopped, Gu Tong jumped off the horse and asked tremblingly with a pale face: "What's going on?
Why is this happening?"
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "Everyone is stunned.
If you don't tell me this in advance, what will happen to you when you come back?"
Gu Tong clasped his fists and said: "Guys, I want to tell you that the leader of the group of people coming from the northwest is Gaitea who is in the Amanos Mountains.
A few years ago, he robbed people around the Topla Kale Fortress.
At that time, I was working as a guard for a caravan, and I once encountered I had seen him leading bandits to rob a caravan, and I remembered his face just now.
He was riding in the front, and I recognized him at a glance.
He was a man of great strength, and a hundred people could do nothing to him.
Now all of us are here.
They were all stunned and couldn’t deal with him at all.”
Zhao Ziliang asked with a stern face: "How far are they from the town?"

"It's still ten miles away at most, and others are still monitoring them."
Zhao Ziliang said to Zhang Bi and Gu Tong: "Zhang Bi rushed back immediately and brought the other brothers back.
Only two people are left to watch and report their movements at any time.
Gu Tong, you stay to help."
"clear" After Zhang Bi left, Zhao Ziliang said to Torun: "Lord Torun, you must have heard of Getea's evil reputation.
If you don't want to be killed by Getea or captured by them, I hope you can help me.
These officials of yours go and persuade the residents of the town to come over and carry us unconscious people to the big courtyard where the prisoners are kept.
Then you all hide in the houses around the courtyard and don't come out.
Leave the outside affairs to us. " Torun was surprised: "You only have a few people, can you deal with more than 600 bandits?"
"I have a way.
Just send someone to persuade the residents to come and help."
"Okay."
Torun agreed after weighing it up, and immediately ordered the four officials around him: "You guys go immediately to persuade the residents of the town to come over and help carry all the fainted people to the yard over there.
Go quickly."
"Yes, my lord" Tolun thought for a while and asked Zhao Ziliang, "Master Zhao, I don't understand.
Since someone has drugged your food, why not poison everyone to death?
Wouldn't it be wrong to just stun them all and poison them all?"
More trouble-free” Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "Toxic drugs are different from other drugs.
The time of the toxicity attack is difficult to control.
If you want to poison all of us, the time of the toxicity attack must not be too short.
If the attack occurs soon after taking it, other Those who haven't taken it will definitely not take it.
And there are few drugs that can prolong the onset of toxicity and cause death, because almost all poisonous drugs have a process from onset to death, but drug addiction is different and can kill us.
Everyone was knocked unconscious, kidnapped, and ransom was demanded from our families.”
Torun shouted angrily: "Damn it, they are too rampant, too rampant, these bandits of Getea deserve to be killed.
If I can go back alive this time, I must report it to the higher ups and ask the higher ups to send an army to extinguish this gang."
Gang of robbers":
